Thomas Robert Stockley (former child and occasional statue), and William Myles Thomas (artist and lactose enthusiast) proudly present OMLET (Or Maybe Let’s Eat Together), the much-anticipated culmination of a shared September residency at Back Lane West. Featuring new individual and collaborative works, OMLET plays on the concept of food as art; whilst simultaneously being disrupted by digital works – a balance of comfort (eating) and discomfort. In the space the viewer becomes participant. We are confronted by our immediate physical presence in time and space, manifest through art objects and the visceral act of consuming food. This reality is contrasted by the act of being transported out of the physical world, into a virtual reality where computers sing to themselves, eggs give birth and the very space you occupy is cracked and distorted.
